Information about Biosol

Research Analysis and Summary’s

Humus Growth

 

Ø5 years after 1 application of Biosol mix and Biosol,  the  microbial biomass equaled 37 and 34 years of natural succession

 

For any re-establishment of vegetation it is essential that microbial activity is restored to ensure carbon and nutrient turnover.  The mediator of this process is the microbial biomass.  Thus if the microbial biomass levels of a reclaimed site approach those of comparable ecosystems, one important part of the reclaimed system has been re-established successfully.

Root Formation & Nutritional Condition

Ø      Biosol is perfectly well tolerated by plants, which responded with better growth, a deeper green of the canopy, the formation of a more complex root system, and a well balanced nutritional condition.

 

The special organic fertilizer BIOSOL was tested with regard to its effect on potted

spruces cultivated on brown earth/semi-podsol and /or virgin soil substrates. The variants

compared in the trials also included untreated controls and a mineral fertilizer variant.

Particularly favorable results were achieved when appling Biosol on virgin soils with a low sorptive effect, where easily soluble mineral fertilizers can cause root etchings and are often washed away quickly.  According to these results, Biosol can be recommended as a fertilizer for afforestaions in high altitudes and on virgin soils; the application of Biosol is a suitable measure to be taken in order to improve the growth and general health of the plants and to lessen the stress by transplanting.

Tied up TNT

Ø      Application of 2% Biosol with compost resulted in a decrease of 72% -83% for the total amount of TNT and the water extractable amount of TNT.

 

The use of Biosol in addition of compost has successfully been demonstrated in a study in co-operation with DEC and OVAM.  The use of Biosol resulted in the formation of a specific type of complex, more precisely the Meiserheimer Complex (bacteria breaks down material to the sole carbon, nitrogen and energy source) which is very stable and able to bind the TNT-molecules irreversible to the humus matrix.

PH Concentrations

Ø      The positive effects of Biosol may have been able to reduce ph or salt concentrations in the soil solution, or improved physical stability due to the formation of stable aggregates.

 

Fly-ash deposits are usually difficult to reclaim due to poor chemical and physical properties.  Using different kinds of composts, organic amendments, soil conditioners and mineral fertilizers, we established a reclamation trial on an ash-dump in the Helmstedt mining area. Vitality of the grasses sown, as well as the percent of plant cover were highest on the plots amended with bark compost and BIOSOL.
